Ok a bit of a radical one here (Chevy), but but not out of the question for a Bedford to take this shape. Showed this because of one feature, the new look Wheel Arch's in the last couple of photo's







Now take a look at the new set of wheel arch's, this is a first time I have seen this done.

 You Guys with Gull Wing side doors might be interested in this set up. IT DOES THE FRONT AND SIDE DOOR IN ONE.......

It lifts my 225 pound door with ease. It's rated at 1300 pounds

Ok for today, take a look at these doors, even the side gulwing is on a angle..... and a different bumper



And if you really want a different front end, there is always this...



I like this window set up, Bay and standard looks good.

 :) Yep, we could do this to a Bedford........... well that takes care of where to exit the headers....



A back end like this-- Maybe.......



Turn it into a Boat / ok only having fun...



Drop it / cut it.......



Shortin it.



Add some extra wheels .... Wouldn't need to carry a spare - youre got plenty with you.....



Even revamp the front a little....



I guess there is no limit, to what can be done to a Beddie.... ;)
